job-seeking today wasnt exactly easy. I dont understand why agencies love to advertise aggressively just to make you come down for an "interview". & when we actually do go down, foolishly thinking it was because we were shortlisted for the job, we always get turned down with a polite "Are you open to other postions? ..... Thank you, we'll call you again". But guess what, they never really do (well, def not as quickly as perceived). But then again, taking into account the humongous database of jobseekers, i shouldn't raise my expectations too high ):
A good example would be one that advertised "F&B/Cust Serv/Logistics, $6/hr and above... call XXX Agency". And when we went down there on the same day, in anticipation, all we got was "Frankly to tell the truth, because of rising bonuses, many are sticking to their job. Thus, we havent received much, but i'll call you again if i have a suitable assigment" See the irony?
But thank god, the NASA company called all of us back for orientation tmr. I sure hope we get the job, its like the MOST ATTRACTIVE so far (:
i dont want to be part of the 3% who contribute to NAIRU in S'pore.
i want to be part of the labour force.
